What happened to the children: Ella Catherine McCallum

Mary passed away a few short months after Ella's birth, so she never had the chance to meet her mother. She was not with her siblings in the orphanage in 1900.[1] However, by 1910 Ella was living with her older sister Marie at St. Ann’s Orphanage.[2] Ella married Lawrence P. Sayers on 28 January 1925 in Salt Lake City.[3] By 1930, the couple moved to Los Angeles, California where Lawrence worked as an insurance adjuster and Ella went about life as a wife and socialite.[4] The couple had no children, but they continued to live their lives in California. No specific death information has been found at this point in time.
